Chocolate Is the Answer
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: 2016/01 - Winter
For some of us, February is a bleak slog punctuated by the splash of passion and color that’s Valentine’s Day.
And there’s another happy date on the calendar that’ll banish those winter blues – the Fourth Annual Chocolate Cook-Off, set for 2:00 to 4:00 P.M. Saturday, February 7, at the Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library.
Every February, the library is filled with sweets and goodies baked with love from all around the community and brought in for judging for taste, aroma, and decoration. The Friends of the Library have created an afternoon that’s earned a cherished place on the community calendar.
“We are asking that anyone who is interested in making a chocolate confection of some sort get an application form either from me at (828) 743-0489 or Adair Simon at (828) 743-5940 or at the front desk of the library,” says event chairwoman Bonnie Zacher. “Chocolate confections can be anything made with chocolate from candies, to cakes to brownies, and other desserts. Each entrant will make one dessert that will be judged and later sold and additional small bites for the public to taste. Judging will be based on taste, texture, aroma, creativity, and eye appeal.”
Everyone attending will be able to cast a vote for the People’s Choice Award. Desserts will be auctioned off at 2:00 P.M.
Cost is $6 per person, with children under five free. Albert Carlton-Cashiers Community Library is located at 249 Frank Allen Road.
